The early English books in the Henry E. Huntington 
Library will all be fully described in the elaborate cata- 
logue prepared under the direétion of Mr. George Watson 
Cole. 

Meanwhile it has been thought advisable to place in 
the hands of scholars trustworthy photographic facstmtles 
of a few of the rarer items, especially those which have 
not yet been reprinted and of which no correéi text is 
easily available, 

Each reprint will be accompanied 5 a short introduétory 
note giving the necessary bibliographical and literary 
information.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE 


Careless Shepherdess two London booksellers, Richard 
Rogers and William Ley, printed 4x exadé and per- 
fed Catalogue of all Playes that are printed. 

In this list occurs a play Enough as good as a feast, of 
which nothing is known beyond this bare title. 

Other early lists of plays such as Edward Archer’s 
(1656) and Francis Kirkman’s (1661 and 1671) merely 
repeat the above entry.’ 

As late as 1902, in his reprint of these lists of plays, 
all W. W. Greg could add asa note was “ Not otherwise 
known.” 

And yet the copy seen by Rogers and Ley was still 
in existence: it was hiding at Mostyn Hall with other 
literary treasures and only came to light at the Mostyn 
sale in March 1919, when it was purchased by Mr. 
George D. Smith from whom it was subsequently 
obtained by Mr. Henry E. Huntington. 

In an introductory note to the facsimile reprint of 
Fulgens and Lucres, full details may be found on the 
history of the Mostyn library. 

The title-page of Enough is as good as a feast gives 
us the author’s name. This “ comedy or interlude ”’ was 
“compiled by W. Wager.” 

Little is known about this dramatic author, whose 
Christian name is usually given as William: we have 
from his pen “a very mery and pythie Comedie called 


|: 1656, as an appendix to Thomas Goffe’s play The 


* Kirkman however reads Enough’s as good as a Feast.

The longer thou livest the more foole thou art” printed 
about 1570 by William How for Richard Johnes (British 
Museum, the only copy known) and we learn from the 
Stationers’ registers that his play The Cruel Debtor was 
licensed in 1565-1566 to T. Colwell (of the original 
edition there are three stray leaves in the British 
Museum). 

Two or three other plays have been conjecturally 
ascribed to him and he was probably a relative of the 
Lewis Wager, the author of an interlude on The Life 
and Repentance of Mary Magdalen printed in 1566. 

The following is the description of the newly dis- 
covered play: 

A Comedy or Enter||lude intituled, Inough is as good 
as a feast, || very fruteful, godly and ful of plea-|| sant 
mirth. Compiled by || W. Wager. || €@ Seuen may easely
